"The amount you get paid for a job is what you've negotiated and NOT some value that your skill has."

This is fundamentally wrong. What you get paid for is the convergence of your economic "worth" and labor demands. When there are a hundred illegals waiting to do your job, you're not worth much and can be replaced. When you don't have a moron for president and have full employment, you get a raise. You don't even need to waste your free time unionizing*, because the raise will go through prior to them.
Negotiating are only allowed for professionals, not the lunch dude. More than half of people graduating from college this year won't get to negotiate a salary. They will only be paid the going rate depending on how many apply.

*When did unions become all about greed and an extra dollar and hour than the whole workplace environment? Oh yea, when we put teachers and SSA workers on the save par as miners.
